Whenever a new game comes out that ends up becoming a massive success, you can always count on a plethora of clones and similar style games to make their way to Google Play in short order. The vast majority of these clones tend to either be pretty identical to the original game, but just not as good, or just a horrible copy of the original game. On occasion though you do get a clone that is actually pretty good.

In terms of brand cross-overs, franchises like Angry Birds and Puzzle & Dragons tend to do a lot of them. While this may get played out after awhile, especially with Angry Birds, once in awhile a cross-over does happen that is just plain cool and Temple Run 2 has started one that is just that. Enter the Temple (see what we did there?) with Bruce Lee!
Bubbliminate is a strategy game for two to eight players, or against the AI, that was originally created by Joel Becker when he was in high school,and who’s now the founder of Voxoid LLC.

Plants vs Zombies 2 has started a new event for Valentine’s Day, themed around the holiday of love, and provides players with a rather unique special event called Valenbrainz Hug-a-thon.

The concept of a game where you grow a digital potted plant may seem a bit dry at first but Viridi seems to have some sort of strange quality about it already that will probably draw a lot of people in to play it. This game, developed by Ice Water Games, lets players grow a digital potted plant in real time.

There is a lot of talk lately that Rovio is having a less then stellar time right now with revenue. Many sites including ours have reported on it and it is basically due to the fact that you can only do so much with a franchise like Angry Birds before it gets tired and old.

Of course they are still making a lot of money, just not as much as they used to make.
